Underlying EBITDA was $1.0 billion and underlying NPAT was $355 million. The average realised gas price rose 7% to $11.5 per GJ, and field Operating Expense fell 3% to $244 million, including Waitsia operations.

The company declared a final fully Franked Dividend of 2.0 cents per share and full-year dividends of 3.0 cents per share. Available Liquidity was $983 million and net gearing was 10.6%. The sale of VIC/L35 optimised its Otway portfolio and redirected more than $500 million of Capital in the near term.

In the field, the Equinox rig campaign was materially completed within its campaign budget, and nine oil appraisal and development wells drilled in the Western Flank had a 100% success rate. The company reported 18 months recordable injury free across all Assets and no Tier 1 process safety events since 2020.

For FY27, Beach is running exploration programs in the Western Flank, Perth Basin and Taroom Trough and is targeting a final Investment decision in the first half of FY27 for a two-well nearshore Otway drilling campaign. It also refers to maturing Perth Basin backfill opportunities and multi-Tcf scale opportunities in the offshore Otway Basin.

Risks and what to watch

Earnings depend on oil and gas prices, production performance at Waitsia and other hubs, and exploration outcomes. The Otway drilling campaign is subject to a final investment decision targeted for the first half of FY27, and the Perth Basin and Otway opportunities are described as being matured or targeted. The dividend of 3.0 cents per share is low relative to the scale of earnings, and the company prioritises Balance Sheet strength to fund growth.

Next milestones

Items to watch include the final investment decision on the two-well nearshore Otway campaign in the first half of FY27, results of exploration in the Western Flank, Perth Basin and Taroom Trough, production at Waitsia, and payment of the 2.0 cent final dividend.
